Target organs for oxytocin.

Uterus- stimulates contractions, initiates labor


Breasts- initiates milk ejection

Target organs for Antidiuretic Hormone.

Kidneys- stimulates kidney tubule cells to reabsorb water

Target organs for Growth Hormone

Liver, muscle, bone, cartilage, other tissues.


-anabolic hormone that stimulates somatic growth; mobilizes fats; spares glucose

Target organs for Thyroid stimulating hormone.

Thyroid gland- stimulates gland to release thyroid hormones

Target organs for adrenocorticotropic hormone.

Adrenal cortex- promotes release of glucocorticoids and androgens

Target organs for follicle stimulating hormone

Ovaries and testes- stimulates ovarian follicle maturation and estrogen production in females


- stimulates sperm production in males

Target hormones for luteinizing hormone

Ovaries and testes- triggers ovulation and stimulates ovarian production of estrogen and progesterone.


- promotes testosterone production in males

Target organs for prolactin.

Breast secretory tissue- promotes lactation.
